Questions uninstall Works 6.0/2002, install Office 2003
I would like to install Office 2003 on my computer, but it looks like I will
need to first uninstall the Works 6.0/2002 that came pre-installed. For one thing, in looking through various posts recently, I read there are conflicts caused by the two instances of Word (if I don't uninstall the old one first). I figured it be easier just to get rid of Works completely, but was left with the impression that the uninstall will not be as easy as it sounds, and issues may remain when I install Office. Here is the list of entries I have for Works in Add/Remove Programs: Microsoft Works 6.0 Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Microsoft Word Microsoft Works 2002 Setup Launcher Microsoft Word 2002 How and in what order do I go about doing this, and what pitfalls do I need to watch out for? Also (for later), will I be able to pull existing Works spreadsheets into Excel? Thanks, jfire7887 |
